A Dhaka court yesterday summoned two investigation officers of 13 corruption cases filed over BASIC Bank loan scams, seeking explanations as to whether the bank's board of directors were involved.

Jatiya Party lawmaker Mahjabeen Morshed and her husband have been sued for Tk 275-crore loan scam at the state-run BASIC Bank.

Scam-hit BASIC Bank suspends four of its top officials as part of its efforts to rid the state lender of financial anomalies that cost it thousands of crores of taka in recent years.
